A textile mesh for stabilizing earthen slopes and subgrades formed of interwoven, knitted, or stitch-bonded weft and warp elements that define a plurality of stable apertures of substantially uniform size by respective portions of the elements which have respective lengths of less than 12 millimeters. The textile mesh is coated with a curable material for interlocking the elements at junctions, whereby the textile mesh is rigidly flexible for facilitating handling during construction of a soil-stabilized earthen slope yet the junctions are substantially rigidly interlocked in order for the apertures to remain of substantially uniform size. The textile mesh is enclosed by layers of a backfill comprising particles of a size having an average diameter that is less than or equal to about 30% of the smaller of the lengths of the portions defining the apertures and at least 50% of which pass a number 4 sieve (4.75 mm). The particles strike-through the apertures to mechanically engage the textile mesh and the backfill for stabilizing soil in earthen slopes and subgrades.
